    Hey, I’m new to this forum but I came here in seek of some help. I’ve had this 2010 for for a bit and it’s in need of an upgrade (visually). It’s a tricky color to mod but I’m looking for a nice set of rims and tires and I’m not sure whether I should keep the chrome or completely cover it up. I’m planning on tinting the front windows this weekend.
    I’m looking to get new headlights and taillights but not sure what color to go with. I’m open to all suggestions. I don’t have a set budget.9D04D088-18EF-4317-A318-01C5EF8C20E7.jpg

    Welcome from NY.

    You can color match the chrome and plasti dip the wheels black or even have them powder coated black.

    Black rim is much much better looking than chrome. But that's just me.

    Go to tirerack or discount tire and you can see how your truck will look with the different wheels available. Look at more than just silver and black wheels, you may be surprised with what colors and designs looks good with your truck and paint.

    What’s tricky about modding that color? Looks like MGM to me, so you can order color matched door handles, mirror caps, and grille easily for a quick visual upgrade. You already have the limited front bumper, so no chrome to get rid of there.

    Look into Morimoto, Alpharex, and 2018+ LED Sequoia headlights.

    Hahaha, no set budget. I like that. Here's my suggestion, which are on board with a few mentioned. Let's get her sitting right first.
    1. Full Coilovers- Bilstein 6112's if your not going to be off-road a lot. Bilstein 5160 or 5100's in rear.
    2. AT tires. 295/70/18 Ridge Grapplers or Coopers
    3. As mentioned above, Alpharex or Morimoto Headlights, Alpharex just came out with tailights might as well match them up.
    4. Diode Dynamics SS3 Fogs
    5. Full Ceramic Tint
    6. Dirty Deeds Custom Exhaust :D
    7. New Rims:thumbsup:
    Interior Mods
    Check out AJT Designs
